DOVER, DE (AP) - Police in Delaware say they are investigating a domestic assault allegation made against NASCAR driver Kurt Busch.<br />

The Dover Police Department said in a statement Friday that the allegations were brought to the department on Wednesday. His ex-girlfriend, Patricia Driscoll, said the allegations involved an incident inside his motorhome at a race.<br />

NASCAR said it was aware of the situation, and gathering information. Busch has not been charged.<br />
